How TubeTalk works
A simple way to make nearby conversations easier when the environment is too loud for normal speech.
1

Open TubeTalk nearby

Each person opens the app on their iPhone. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on so iOS can discover nearby devices. Internet access is not required.

2

Connect directly

Choose a nearby person or use proximity connection on supported devices. TubeTalk uses local device-to-device communication instead of a phone call.

3

Talk with more clarity

TubeTalk relays speech, reduces background noise, boosts voice volume, and can show live captions or offline translations when available.

Does TubeTalk need internet?

No. TubeTalk is designed for nearby device-to-device communication. Keep Wi-Fi and Bluetooth turned on, but no mobile signal or Wi-Fi internet connection is required.

Why must Wi-Fi and Bluetooth be on?

iOS uses both radios to discover and connect nearby devices. Even without internet, Wi-Fi helps provide the speed and reliability needed for live voice.

Do I need noise-cancelling headphones?

No. Noise-cancelling headphones can help in loud environments, but TubeTalk also works with regular earbuds, wired headphones, Bluetooth headphones, or the iPhone speaker.

Why does TubeTalk ask for microphone and local network permissions?

Microphone access is required for voice chat. Local network access allows nearby devices to discover and connect with each other.

Why can performance vary?

Real-world performance depends on device model, microphone position, headphones, distance between devices, radio conditions, and surrounding noise.

Privacy Policy
TubeTalk is designed for private, nearby communication without accounts, advertising, or analytics.

Overview

TubeTalk ("the App") is an iOS app developed by Ayes Ltd. This Privacy Policy explains what information the App accesses, why it is needed, and how it is handled.

Data Collection

TubeTalk does not collect personal data. The App does not require an account, does not include advertising, and does not use analytics or tracking SDKs.

Information Accessed on Your Device

TubeTalk may access the following device features only to provide the app's core functionality:

  • Microphone: used to capture speech for nearby voice communication, captions, and related audio processing.
  • Local network: used to discover and connect nearby devices directly.
  • Bluetooth and Wi-Fi radios: used by iOS nearby connectivity technologies for discovery and device-to-device communication.
  • Speech recognition: used only when you enable live captions or text-related features.
  • Nearby interaction: used on supported devices to help with proximity-based connection.

Voice, Captions, and Translation

TubeTalk is designed for real-time nearby conversations. Voice data is sent only to connected nearby peers during an active conversation. TubeTalk does not upload your conversations to a server operated by Ayes Ltd.

Live captions and translation are optional features. When available, they are intended to run on device using system-provided capabilities and installed language resources. Availability and behaviour may vary by iOS version, device, language, and region.

User Preferences

TubeTalk stores app preferences such as nickname, language, and communication mode locally on your device using standard iOS storage. These preferences are not sent to Ayes Ltd.

Data We Do Not Collect

  • Personal information such as name, email address, Apple ID, or phone number
  • Location data
  • Contacts
  • Conversation recordings
  • Analytics, advertising identifiers, or tracking data
  • Crash reports or diagnostic logs sent directly to Ayes Ltd

Third-Party Services

TubeTalk does not integrate third-party advertising or analytics services. Some features rely on Apple system frameworks, such as local networking, speech recognition, translation, and nearby interaction. Apple's own policies govern how iOS provides those system services.

Children's Privacy

TubeTalk does not knowingly collect personal data from children. The App has no account registration and no personal data collection.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be reflected on this page with an updated effective date.
